I only found "Packages" in the "Packs" folder. I did not find "Manifests" folder when i extracted it.
 
It's normal :) Like I said "(if there are any)", if there's not, you don't need to copy/paste it :)
 
A few more files to replace.

I got an error message
"Installer encountered an error: 0x80240009"

I put the "Packages" folder in the right spot. I move all the files in that folder into C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\servicing\Packages
 
Was there other files in that folder before (from the previous fixes) or not?
 
Alright, let's replace them using SFCFix then.
